EZ-Lok Guidelines for Drainage:

• Occlude drainage tubing a minimum of 3" below the sampling port by kinking the tubing until urine is visible under the access site
• Swab the surface of Bard EZ-Lok Sampling Port with an antiseptic wipe 
• Using an aseptic technique, position the syringe in the center of the sampling port. The syringe should be held perpendicular to the surface of the sampling port (at approximately 80^o-100^o angle), press the syringe firmly and twist gently to access the sampling port
• Slowly aspirate the urine sample into a syringe and remove it from the sample port
• Unkink tubing and transfer urine specimen into specimen cup, discard syringe according to hospital protocol
• Follow established hospital protocol for specimen labeling and transport to the lab

Inflation/Deflation Guidelines:
Proper Catheter Inflation:
Ensure that the Bard Foley catheter balloon is positioned well within the patient's bladder. Slowly, with a gentle, constant force, inflate the Bard Foley catheter balloon with the volume prescribed on the package. Note that a 5cc balloon must be inflated with between 9cc and 10cc of sterile water. Improperly inflated Bard Foley catheter balloons may cause drainage and deflation difficulties.

Catheter Deflation:
Select a luer slip syringe. Slide the plunger of the syringe up and down the barrel of the syringe several times to "loosen it up". Compress the plunger all the way and then pull back the plunger slightly so that it does not adhere to the front of the syringe barrel. Gently insert a syringe into the catheter valve. Do not use more force than is required to make the syringe "stick" in the valve. Allow the pressure within the balloon to force the plunger back and fill the syringe with water. If you notice slow or no deflation, re-seat the syringe gently, once again, allow the balloon to deflate slowly on its own

If the balloon does not deflate, reposition the patient. Ensure that the catheter is not in traction - the proximal end of the catheter is not compressed within the bladder neck. Ensure that urine flows freely. Attempt to deflate the balloon by using the pressure in the balloon to force water into the syringe

If the balloon still fails to deflate, apply very gentle, slow aspiration, aspiration that is too rapid or too forceful, may cause the inflation lumen within the Foley catheter to collapse

If permitted by hospital protocol, the valve arm may be severed. If this fails, contact an adequately trained professional for assistance, as directed by hospital protocol
